NRLW Late Mail: Round 6
Knights v Sharks, Sunday at McDonald Jones Stadium
Knights: Co-captain Hannah Southwell returns after sitting out last week as a precaution due to a knee complaint, which sees Kayla Romaniuk move to prop in place of Rima Butler. Caitlin Johnston is back at prop after being named in the second row last week, so Felila Kia reverts to the bench and Kiwi Fern Laishon Albert-Jones joins the starting second row. Simone Karpani is out after picking up a leg injury last week, which means Viena Tinao is set to play her third game at NRLW level. In a late change one hour from kick off, Tayla Predebon starting for Kayla Romaniuk.
Sharks: Coach Tony Herman has stuck with the same 17 players who led the side to their biggest win at NRLW level last week, with a positional switch in the forward pack the only alteration. Veteran Holli Wheeler moves to lock after starting at prop last week, with Chloe Saunders shifting from the No.13 jersey to the No.10 jersey. No changes in one hour from kick off.
